Bojan Bogdanovic donned a bright red patterned sport coat before turning to talk with the reporters semi-circling his locker, inspiring joking commentary from teammates across the locker room.
"I thought we were on TNT," he told them, smiling. "I didn't know they canceled the game."
Bogdanovic was joking. He often dresses the part of European fashion plate for games, and wasn't trying to show off for national television cameras that might have pointed toward him as he entered Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Thursday. He saved his attention-grabbing moments for the game – the game TNT had been scheduled to broadcast but bailed on - by scoring 37 points to lead the Pacers to a 122-115 victory over Minnesota.
